Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.
Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.
Martha especially looked at favonovel.com like favonovel.com was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and favonovel.com burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”
Martha was beside herself with fury.
Philip was such a blabbermouth.
“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.
“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!
“Look at favonovel.com son-in-law, look what favonovel.com bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”
As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.
It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that favonovel.com was a good-for-nothing now.
Next to them, Paula enjoyed the show, chuckling to herself coldly. The irony on favonovel.com face intensified.
She pretended to say kindly, “Come on, Martha, don’t keep venting your temper on poor Philip like that. You know what they say, a girl is only as good as the man favonovel.com marries. It’s not Philip’s fault, it’s Wynn’s fault for choosing the wrong man.”
She turned the blame to Wynn.
Aunt Paula was quite the masterful character in favonovel.com own right. She was blatantly picking a fight here.
Martha only grew angrier when favonovel.com heard that.
What happened three years ago was already enough to make favonovel.com lose all face in front of favonovel.com family.
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, it was favonovel.com daughter who insisted on marrying Philip Clarke, by hook or by crook.
In the end, favonovel.com turned out to be absolutely worthless, after all.
“It’s all your fault, stupid girl. You just had to insist on marrying this useless piece of trash! See what you’ve done? I don’t even dare to go home now because of you.”
Martha screamed like a banshee, favonovel.com temper boiling over. “I don’t care. If you still think of me as your mother, I want you to divorce this useless Philip right now! It’s either favonovel.com or me!”
“Mom, could you not? Why do you have to keep bringing up the past?”
Wynn felt pretty upset too. It was humiliating for favonovel.com to have favonovel.com mother talk to favonovel.com like that, especially in front of Aunt Paula and Juan.
“Sorry, Juan. Do you maybe want to go back first?” Wynn turned to Juan with a sheepish smile.
Juan nodded too and left the room.
True, it was kind of awkward.
After all, favonovel.com was still an outsider here.
Before favonovel.com left, though, favonovel.com glanced at Philip who was standing in the corner quietly. Juan gave Philip a taunting look.
The genius Philip Clarke who ruled the school back then had now fallen to such an extent. It was quite hard to imagine, really.
Since Wynn did not agree to divorce Philip, Martha threw everything out the window and plopped favonovel.com behind on the floor, throwing a tantrum as favonovel.com wailed, “You heartless little witch! Your father and I raised you all those years, and this is how you treat us? Why did you marry that useless thing? What did I do wrong in my past life to deserve a heartless daughter like you?”
Wynn felt bad seeing Martha roll around screaming on the floor too, so favonovel.com hurriedly tried to help favonovel.com mother up.
However, Martha simply refused to get up. She just pointed at Philip and wailed like favonovel.com was at a funeral.
There was nothing Wynn could do, so favonovel.com just gave up. “Mom, I won’t divorce Philip.”
“You’ve gone mad, Wynn! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with that piece of trash?”
The way Martha saw it, someone as hopeless as Philip should never have married favonovel.com daughter.
If favonovel.com had insisted back then and stopped them from getting married, if favonovel.com had found Wynn a good man instead, then favonovel.com would be living the good life in a bungalow just like favonovel.com sister right now.
“No, Mom. Although Philip lost his business these past three years and ended up poor, although life has been hard for us, favonovel.com still never once complained over the past three years. He treats me very well, too. No matter what, I won’t divorce him.” Wynn made favonovel.com stand clear and stole a glance at Philip.
However, favonovel.com saw that Philip was actually smiling at favonovel.com stupidly.
Seriously!
Could favonovel.com not see that favonovel.com mother was really unhappy with him?
How could favonovel.com still smile so stupidly like that?
This entire time, Wynn had been on favonovel.com last bit of patience with Philip. She really thought favonovel.com would divorce him.
When that incident happened out of the blue that day, though, and when favonovel.com suddenly saw that video today, Wynn realized that favonovel.com still cared about Philip. He still had an important place in favonovel.com heart.
“Philip, you told me that I just have to wait one more year, and you’ll give me a future brighter than I ever dreamed. Were you telling the truth?”
“I was.”
“I don’t want to see people calling you names all the time. I don’t want you to become a laughing stock. I want all the people who looked down on you to regret it. Can you do that?”
Wynn’s eyes were red as favonovel.com stared intently at Philip.
“I can.”
Philip gave favonovel.com a simple answer, turned, and left.
From the very beginning until now, Wynn had only ever been concerned about him, and not about herself.
